General discussion • Trying to set up minidlna, doesn't work

$

Hi all, my mini server setup suddenly stopped working one day, so I decided to start from scratch again. I had a minidlna server set up, as well as a Samba connection to windows to transfer the files I download there to the Raspberry Pi. But now that I set everything up again, it just doesn't work, and I can't for the life of me find out why.
I can see the minidlna server from windows and other devices, but it always shows as empty, even though it contains lots of files:

You can see how the /home/torres/minidlna/videos folder contains many subfolders and a bunch of video files, so I don't get why it's not working:

I would greatly appreciate your help with this matter :)

This is my minidlna config file:

Code:

# This is the configuration file for the MiniDLNA daemon, a DLNA/UPnP-AV media# server.## Unless otherwise noted, the commented out options show their default value.## On Debian, you can also refer to the minidlna.conf(5) man page for# documentation about this file.# Specify the user name or uid to run as (root by default).# On Debian system command line option (from /etc/default/minidlna) overrides this.#user=torres# Path to the directory you want scanned for media files.## This option can be specified more than once if you want multiple directories# scanned.## If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can# prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V),# followed by a comma, as so:#   * "A" for audio    (eg. media_dir=A,/var/lib/minidlna/music)#   * "P" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,/var/lib/minidlna/pictures)#   * "V" for video    (eg. media_dir=V,/var/lib/minidlna/videos)#   * "PV" for pictures and video (eg. media_dir=PV,/var/lib/minidlna/digital_camera)#media_dir=/home/torres/minidlnamedia_dir=V,/home/torres/minidlna/videos# Set this to merge all media_dir base contents into the root container# (The default is no.)#merge_media_dirs=no# Path to the directory that should hold the database and album art cache.#db_dir=/var/cache/minidlna# Path to the directory that should hold the log file.#log_dir=/var/log/minidlna# Type and minimum level of importance of messages to be logged.## The types are "artwork", "database", "general", "http", "inotify",# "metadata", "scanner", "ssdp" and "tivo".## The levels are "off", "fatal", "error", "warn", "info" or "debug".# "off" turns of logging entirely, "fatal" is the highest level of importance# and "debug" the lowest.## The types are comma-separated, followed by an equal sign ("="), followed by a# level that applies to the preceding types.
